Even without Alexis, this is arguably the closest to a first choice team we’ve had all season. And this must be what only the second league game both Ozil and Walcott have started in two seasons? Crazy
No Alexis so this Özil-Cazorla partnership better work out.
Alexis isn’t even on the bench? I thought Arsene would at least have him on the bench. Is this a precaution or….
Don’t worry, there’s Rozza
Sanchez moved to Villa! When did this happen?
They bid 40,000,002 for him and we couldn’t resist.
Frightening to think that’s our attack and were missing Alexis, welbz, the ox and wilshere! Coyg!!
Although Welbz and Wilsh are a bit rubbish tbh…
Worst bench this season?
Reassuring to have real live defenders on it though.
Attacking wise…
Decently strong personnel though but Rosicky is the only experienced attacking option
If ever a bench was designed for a lead.
Backs to the wall? Chambers/Gabriel l
Need control of the game back? Rosicky and Gibbs
Coasting? Akpom
That midfield is just sexy. That is all.
Why not start flamini? Coquelin is on four yellow cards if i’m not mistaking, he might miss the crucial game at Sp*rs.
He won’t get suspended though, you have to collect 5 yellows before a certain date, I think it’s by the end of December.
Don’t think so; amnesty
Today is about trying to get the best out of Mesut and Santi. One will primarily play out left. I’d imagine they will swap throughout the game, we might be a small bit narrow but Theo will look to get in behind all game, that’s a huge plus..We’ll have to much for Villa. Up the Arse.
3 defenders, a goalkeeper and a defensive midfielder on the bench. You might think we’re playing Bayern. I kid I kid. COYG
We don’t park the bus like Chelski tho
Now feeling sorry for villa. They certainly will get some battering this afternoon COYG
COYG
Looking forward to today. Should be a good hard game. Hopefully a nice 3nil win. Gd luck boys
Salivating already! That’s one good team and bench. Could really get messy for Villa.
The only change I would of made would of been Mozart starting from form and Ozil on the bench but not disappointed with that option. Save Mozart to give the spuds a nightmare next week.
GOYG!! Give me a perfect start to my 30th year on this earth, no better present than all 3 points!
have just seen we have that shit ref so we have no chance.
5 star Coq……
And they did. Sorry villa you’ve just been hit by a team on the rise. Wrong team wrong time
